J.J. Keller Announces Rollout Service for ELD Mandate

J.J. Keller has introduced the Driver DataSense Plus with ELD Rollout Service to help fleets meet the 2017 ELD mandate deadline.

A project leader will work with customers throughout the entire ELD rollout process. The service includes a custom implementation plan, installation of J.J. Keller ELDs, configuration of J.J. Keller’s Encompass back-office compliance system, setup of the J.J. Keller Mobile Logging app and driver training on the system.

“This new service makes it far easier for fleets to meet FMCSA’s December 18, 2017, ELD mandate deadline by letting us facilitate the process,” said Rustin Keller, executive vice president and COO of J. J. Keller. “Our white-glove service, delivered by our managed services team, ensures coordination of all aspects of the transition, from end-to-end ELD implementation to internal change management.”

When the rollout is complete, J.J. Keller’s proprietary technology will aggregate the stream of ELD data in addition to data from paper logs and driver time sheets. A J.J. Keller Client Service Specialist conducts ongoing analysis of the data to identify compliance and performance issues and provide regulatory guidance so customers can correct any issues. Clients also receive help updating unassigned driving time, which can be a problem for fleets transitioning from paper logs to ELDs.

“By using the J. J. Keller Driver DataSense Plus with ELD Rollout service, fleets are assured of a successful and streamlined transition to ELDs,” said Keller. “And by managing that influx of data, we also help fleets improve Hours of Service compliance over the long haul.”
